As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.
If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.
BREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain Sight
A failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

When you see Donald Trump's government, a government that works great for those with money and connections and doesn’t work for anyone else, that’s corruption—plain and simple.

What will I do? Likely drop coverage and save the cash. I’ll apply for the cash price for procedures and likely come out ahead. But, my decision won’t help others left in the system. The pool of insured will become smaller and sicker.
This is the insurance death spiral.

I’m sick of hearing that closing the Department of Education would send control back to the states.
The states already have control.
What they really want with a closing is lack of oversight, access to education funding, and more Christian Nationalism in schools.

Trump’s so-called "peace plan" is a blueprint for Russian victory. Forcing Ukraine to surrender any territory under threat is not diplomacy—it’s appeasement that guarantees future conflict. We must not reward Putin’s aggression with Ukrainian land.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
